XLIFF:doc (TIPP)

The XLIFF:doc format is part of the Interoperability Now! initiative. It aspires to overcome the subtle differences between the XLIFF documents that translation tools use. It also proposes a project package format called TIPP that is to make resources and other settings interoperable among tools.

XLIFF:doc documents are almost always part of TIPP packages.

memoQ is part of the Interoperability Now! initiative, and has full support for TIPP packages and XLIFF:doc documents. XLIFF:doc documents are perfectly normal XLIFF files. But many elements and attributes are even more standardized: Translation tools don't have to use workarounds to be compatible with another.

You see this window if you import an XLIFF:doc document outside a TIPP package.

How to get here

When you're importing a TIPP package:

1. Start importing a TIPP package. In the second page of the import wizard, you can configure the XLIFF:doc filter.
2. To configure XLIFF:doc settings: Click Configure the XLIFF:doc filter. The Document import settings window appears with the XLIFF:doc settings.

   Or:

When you get XLIFF:doc files, or unzip them from of a TIPP package:

1. Start importing an XLIFF:doc (.xliffdoc) file.
2. In the Document import options window, select the XLIFF:doc files, and click Change filter and configuration.
3. The Document import settings window appears. From the Filter drop-down list, choose XLIFF:doc filter.

To work with TIPP in online projects, use this: TIPP packages can only be imported into local projects. But you can unzip a TIPP package, and import the XLIFF:doc documents into online projects.

What can you do?

1. Choose what happens to translation units that must not be translated: Normally, memoQ imports them as locked segments. You can change this on the General tab. To leave them out entirely: Under Translation units, click the Do not import radio button.
2. Choose what happens when a single XLIFF:doc document contains several source documents. Normally, memoQ imports these as separate documents. You can change this on the General tab. To import them as one single document: Under Multiple source files, click the Import as one document radio button.
3. Import the status of segments from the XLIFF:doc document

   XLIFF:doc has a hard-coded set of segment status codes. These are not the same as in memoQ, so memoQ needs to translate (map) them into memoQ status codes.

   To see (and change) how XLIFF:doc status codes are mapped into memoQ segment statuses: Click the Status mapping tab.

   

   The Status mapping on import list shows how XLIFF:doc status codes are translated into memoQ segment status codes when memoQ imports an XLIFF:doc document.

   The example above shows how memoQ does this by default.

   To change the mapping: In one of the drop-down lists next to an XLIFF:doc status, choose a different memoQ status code.

   In the Status mapping on export section, you can choose an XLIFF:doc status code for each memoQ segment status code. To change the XLIFF:doc status code: From the drop-down box next to a memoQ status code, choose a different XLIFF:doc status code.

When you finish

To confirm the settings, and return to the Document import options window or to the Import TIPP package wizard: Click OK.

To return the Document import options window or to the Import TIPP package wizard, and not change the filter settings: Click Cancel.

In the Document import options window: Click OK again to start importing the documents.

In the Import TIPP package wizard: Click Finish to start importing the package.
